On Tuesday's broadcast of the Fox Business Network's "The Intelligence Report," Harvard Law Professor Emeritus, attorney, and author Alan Dershowitz argued Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) "would be great for the Republicans," if elected DNC Chair and was a "part of" Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitism "for years." Dershowitz said picking Ellison would be "about the dumbest thing, among many dumb things, the Democrats have done. After losing white, middle class, working-class people in the Midwest, you're going to pick somebody who for nine years was associated with a hate America, anti-American, anti-Western person? It's just nuts, and theyre going to lose a...

On Tuesdays broadcast of CNN Tonight, attorney and author Alan Dershowitz criticized President Barack Obama for not calling out Black Lives matter and Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) for their bigotry, and we on the liberal side have to call out the bigotry on the left as strongly as people on the right have to call the bigotry of the far right. Dershowitz said, President Obama hasnt done enough. He hasnt done enough in calling out Black Lives Matter when they included an argument about genocide, calling Israel a genocidal country. He hasnt done enough on Keith Ellison, who for years...

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz reacted to outgoing Sen. Harry Reid's speech on the Senate floor Tuesday where he lambasted Donald Trump for his appointment of Steve Bannon to be one of his chief advisors. On MSNBC, Alan Dershowitz shared he receives anti-Semitic responses from "hard-left" students when he delivers speeches at colleges. He invited Reid to go to college campuses and witness how popular anti-Semitism is from the left. Dershowitz talked about "unsafe spaces" for Christians and Jews who support Israel. "What was seen in this country was a very dangerous development on both sides," Dershowitz explained in an interview...

Stephen Bannon, whose appointment to serve as President-elect Donald Trumps chief strategist and senior counselor has drawn controversy in recent days over allegations of antisemitism, will attend the Zionist Organization of Americas annual awards gala in New York City on Sunday. All administration officials are welcome to come to the ZOA dinner, ZOA National President Morton A. Klein told The Algemeiner on Tuesday. Any Democrat is welcome, as is any Republican. If youre a government official and you want to come to the ZOA dinner  unless youre extremely hostile to Israel or a Jew-hater  youre welcome to come....

Alan Dershowitz, a staunch Democrat and emeritus law professor at Harvard University, is hitting back against the smears claiming White House appointee Steve Bannon is anti-Semitic, arguing it is not legitimate to call somebody an anti-Semite because you might disagree with their policies. Speaking in an interview with this reporter, Dershowitz stated: I think we have to be very careful before we accuse any particular individual of being an anti-Semite. The evidence certainly suggests that Mr. Bannon has very good relationships with individual Jews. My former researcher, Joel Pollak, is an Orthodox Jew who takes off the Jewish holidays, who...

Clinton-supporting trial lawyer Alan Dershowitz hung up on radio host Mark Simone Friday after Simone confronted Dershowitz with a Clinton for-profit college scandal. Dershowitz spoke about Donald Trumps instability and said that Were also buying a guy who engaged in massive fraud with Trump University. New York radio host Simone then turned the tables to focus on the Clintons Laureate University scandal. Simone said that Bill Clinton received $18 million to serve as chancellor of the for-profit college and Hillary Clintons State Department awarded them $50 million in U.S. government grants.http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/11/04/alan-dershowitz-goes-berserk-over-clinton-college-scandal-hangs-up-on-mark-simone/

Hard left activists are trying to exclude Jews who do not renounce Israel from "progressive" organizations. Last year, Rabbi Susan Talve, a longtime activist on race issues in the St. Louis area was told that her advocacy for Israel was incompatible with the objectives of Black Lives Matter: "Solidarity from Ferguson to Palestine has become a central tenet of the movement" she was informed, because "Israeli and U.S. state oppression are deeply interconnected." Similarly, a student who attended a Black Lives Matter rally at Northwestern University last year was told "you support Israel, so you cannot also support us." Recently,...

Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax TV on Friday that President Barack Obama had "absolutely" no way of justifying the $400 million cash payment to Tehran in return for four American hostages  especially since a video surfaced this week in Iranian media showing an unmarked plane and a pallet of cash. "The fact that it was done secretly," the Harvard Law School professor emeritus told "Newsmax Prime" host J.D. Hayworth. "The fact that we allowed Iran to now, essentially, extort us by asking to have it done in secret and then announcing it in public  putting the United States in...

Alan Dershowitz, a staunch Democrat and emeritus law professor at Harvard University, stated in an interview on Sunday that the decision by Hillary Clintons vice president pick, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, to boycott Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus speech to Congress was a mark against the candidate. Still, Dershowitz maintained that the Clinton-Kaine ticket was far better for America and for Israel then the Donald Trump and Mike Pence ticket. Dershowitz also sounded off about the decision by Kaine and other prominent democrats to support the international nuclear deal with Iran. Kaine helped generate support for the Obama administrations nuclear deal...

Dershowitz: Not Surprising Ignoramus Bernie Sanders Tapped Professional Israel-Hater for Democratic Policy Committee he Palestinian activist appointed by presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders to the Democratic Platform Drafting Committee is a professional Israel-hater, internationally acclaimed legal mind Alan Dershowitz told The Algemeiner on Tuesday. Dershowitz, a fierce defender of Israel and avowed supporter of the Democratic Party, was referring to Arab American Institute (AAI) President James Zogby, whom Sanders tapped on Monday to help draft party policy. Dershowitz, who said hes debated Zogby on numerous occasions, explained why he is not surprised that the senator from Vermont contending for the Democratic...

Vice President Joe Bidens jabs at Israels prime minister during a speech Monday evening at a gathering for a left-wing Israel lobbying group amount to payback from the White House, retired Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz told The Algemeiner on Tuesday. In an address delivered at J Streets annual convention in Washington DC, Biden singled out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for criticism, expressing his overwhelming frustration with the Israeli leaders policies. I firmly believe that the actions that Israels government has taken over the past several years  the steady and systematic expansion of settlements, the legalization of outposts,...

Harvard professor and legal eagle Alan Dershowitz talks about political correctness and 'safe spaces' on college campuses. Dershowitz tells college students to "stay home" if they want a safe space. ... they don't want to hear opposing points of view. They know everything they need to know about race, about gender, about rape, about you name it, climate control. They don't want to hear opposing points of view... ... We have to distinguish between safe spaces for ideas, where there should be none, and physically safe places where you're not intimidated or you're not threatened. And christian speakers, pro-Israel speakers,...

Super-lawyer and Clinton and Epstein pal Dershowitz recently testified in circuit court in Broward County, Florida. Transcripts of his testimony reveal that Clinton administration FBI chief Louis Freeh has been called in to run interference. Freeh served as FBI director from 1993 to 2001, during almost the entirety of the Clinton presidency. Freeh is representing Dershowitz , who recently has been at the center of civil claims involving allegations that he had sex with underage women on Epsteinâs private plane and at parties on Epsteinâs private island, including at times when Clinton also was on the island. âWell, we have...

Flight logs of Palm Beach billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's private jet show attorney Alan Dershowitz flew on it at least four times. Those logs are contained in nearly 200 pages of documents filed in a defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz in Broward County Circuit Court, as reported in Friday's Palm Beach Daily News. Attorneys Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell, who represent some of Epstein's underage victims, filed the lawsuit in January following Dershowitz's media campaign against them. The Harvard law professor emeritus was fighting claims by their client - Virginia Roberts Giuffre - that she had sex with Dershowitz at...

On the opening segment of Thursday nightâs Kelly File with host Megyn Kelly, author and professor Alan Dershowitz took to task the political correctness culture that has pervaded American college campuses.On the heels of continuing developments from the University of Missouri â where the student Vice President today argued that the First Amendment incites a âhostile and unsafe learning environmentâ â Dershowitz admitted, âweâre seeing a curtain of McCarthyism descend on many college campuses.ââIt was the students at universities that first started burning booksâŚ they donât want to hear diverse views on college campuses,â Dershowitz admitted.WATCH VIDEO Dershowitz dug in, noting...

International law experts are blasting Doctors Without Borders for forcibly removing civilian patients from the aid groupâs Kunduz, Afghanistan, hospital and replacing them with wounded Taliban fighters when the city fell to the rebel control in late September. Alan Dershowitz, an acclaimed Harvard constitutional lawyer and authority in international law, said that he was not surprised that the group, known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, favored Taliban fighters over civilian patients, telling The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview that he regards Doctors Without Borders as âDoctors Without Morals.â Dershowitz charged the group with having a long history of anti-Western...

Where there is a Clinton, there is always a whiff of a scandal, and if former President Bill Clinton is involved, it is a sex scandal. In a recent deposition testimony former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said he cannot rule out that the former president was not involved in the underage sex orgies sponsored by convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein at his private island home. This is according to a news report published on Oct. 29, 2015 by Rader Online, while Dershowitz gave his deposition on Oct. 16. Dershowitz finally gave his deposition in a defamation lawsuit brought about...

When I was growing up, filibuster was a dirty word. It was a tactic used by bigoted southern Senators to prevent the enactment of any civil rights legislation. I recall Senator Strom Thurman babbling on for 24 hours in an effort to keep the south racially segregated. We regarded the filibuster as the enemy of democracy and the weapon of choice against civil rights. ADVERTISEMENT Yet, President Obama and his followers in the senate deployed this undemocratic weapon in order to stifle real debate about the nuclear deal with Iran and to prevent the up or down vote promised by...

Long-time Democrat, Israel defender and famed law professor Alan Dershowitz told a synagogue audience on Saturday night that he was furious with President Obama over the Iran nuclear deal. Speaking at Manhattans illustrious Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side to a crowd gathering for the pre-high-holiday Selichot prayer service, Dershowitz implied he had been betrayed by the president he had formerly championed. He recounted being invited to the Oval Office before Obamas reelection in 2012, where the president had committed to being vigilant on the Iranian nuclear issue. Obama has now crossed many of his own red lines,...

Self-declared liberal Democrat slams nuclear deal on many fronts, but admits that Congress killing it now could make things worse. Instead, he proposes supplementary legislation to ensure no Iran bomb S President Barack Obama is currently vacationing on Marthas Vineyard, as he does every August.

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said the the nine GOP presidential candidates who will take the debate stage Thursday with frontrunner Donald Trump will be wise not to take him on. "Donald Trump is going to win any confrontation," Dershowitz said Tuesday on "CNN Tonight." "He's a populist," Dershowitz said of Trump. "He doesn't have to worry about what he says." Republican voters love the billionaire real estate developer because he doesn't have speechwriters, and anyone who takes him on is going to lose, Dershowitz said.

If only there had been some paper towels. Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard Law School professor known as a zealous civil liberties advocate, is suing TD Garden nearly three years after a slip and fall in an arena bathroom that he attributes to a depleted supply of paper towels near the sinks.

Alan Dershowitz, the famous defense lawyer, has called the case against the six Baltimore officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray a show trial. The actions of prosecutor Marilyn Mosby had nothing to do with justice, but instead amounted to crowd control, Dershowitz said in remarks reported by the Daily Caller. With regard to the second-degree murder charges against Caesar Goodson, Dershowitz stated that theres no plausible, hypothetical, conceivable case for murder under the facts as we now know them. At most, there may be a case for involuntary manslaughter. Dershowitz believes that, having overplayed its hand, the prosecution...

Not everybody is happy that the six police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray are being charged with felonies. One of those people is famous defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, who appeared with Steve Malzberg today to slam Baltimore states attorney Marilyn Mosby for playing politics with the lives of those officers. Specifically, Dershowitz said that this is a very sad day for justice. He claimed that Mosby acted to prevent riots rather that in response to the evidence in the case. He also said that it will be virtually impossible for the police officers to get a fair...

Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz told 1200 WOAI's Michael Board during a stop in San Antonio that Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was an amazing student when he had Cruz in his class twenty years ago at Harvard Law School, 1200 WOAI news reports. "He had come to the school with a reputation as a great debater, the national champ," said Dershowitz, who called Cruz 'the smartest person in the room. "He contributed greatly to Harvard Law School. While I disagree immensely with many of his political positions, I admire his intellect." Dershowitz, who is the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at...

Lawyer Alan Dershowitz is continuing his offensive against the woman accusing him and billionaire perv Jeffrey Epstein of preying on her when she was underaged. In a statement Wednesday, Dershowitz said Jane Doe No. 3  aka Virginia Roberts, 31  lied about seeing former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore at Epsteins Caribbean island compound in the early 2000s.

President Barack Obama is about to make a "dreadful mistake" by cutting a deal with Iran on its nuclear program without approval from Congress, which not only puts the United States in danger but the whole world, renowned legal expert Alan Dershowitz tells Newsmax TV. "This is a very serious crisis about separation of powers  the president mistakenly believes that the executive has the authority to make this deal with Iran without any input from Congress," Dershowitz, professor emeritus from Harvard Law School, told J.D. Hayworth on "America's Forum" on Friday. "He's wrong constitutionally, he's wrong historically, he's wrong...

Just released flight records show Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has been flying with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on the financier's private jet dubbed the 'Lolita Express' since as early as 1997, despite public statements that they were only acquaintances. The high-profile lawyer has been distancing himself from Epstein ever since a young woman named Virginia Roberts filed a lawsuit claiming she was recruited to work as a 'sex slave' for Epstein when she was just 15, naming both Dershowitz and Prince Andrew as two of her molesters. The flight records, obtained by Gawker, also show former President Bill Clinton...

Is there a future for nude beaches on the Island? In a glorious late summers afternoon, the Gay Head Cliffs glow with color on one side; the sea gently laps at the warm sand on the other. Ah, nature! But on the strip of sand between cliff and sea there is what looks like a trade show for outdoor furnishings: umbrellas, coolers, chairs, tents, tote bags, volleyball nets, entire patio sets. Oh, naturists! What a dumb euphemism naturist is, for the hundreds of naked people on this section of beach are really in no more of a natural state than...

Harvard Law professor and popular criminal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz is the latest high-profile figure accused of engaging in sexual assault some years ago. ÂIn a filing in Florida federal court last week, former federal judge Paul Cassell and Florida plaintiffs attorney Bradley Edwards said that their client was forced as a minor by financier Jeffrey Epstein to have sex with several people, including Dershowitz and Britainâs Prince Andrew,Â Reuters reported. But quite unlike how comedian Bill Cosby has handled the accusations against him, Dershowitz came out swinging. In a sworn affidavit filed on Monday, Dershowitz called the charges...

WINGED GARGOYLES guarded the gate at Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. Inside, hidden cameras trolled two rooms, while the girls came and went. For the police detectives who sifted through the garbage outside and kept records of visitors, it was the lair of a troubling target. Epstein, one of the most mysterious of the country's mega-rich, was known as much for his secrecy as for his love of fine things: magnificent homes, private jets, beautiful women, friendships with the world's elite. But at Palm Beach police headquarters, he was becoming known for something else: the regular arrival of teenage girls...

A secret plea deal for Britains Prince Andrews pal Jeffrey Epstein protected the prince and any other high-powered friends who may have used his alleged sex slaves, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned. Federal prosecutors promised they will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein if the Wall Street money manager pled guilty to two relatively minor state underage sex charges that put him in a local jail for 13 months, the confidential plea agreement obtained by Radar says. A lawsuit filed by four women, who say federal prosecutors illegally ignored them and kept them in the dark...

Papers filed against his pervert pal Jeffrey Epstein say he recorded VIP orgies he threw at his luxury homes using cameras hidden in the walls.... The woman known as Jane Doe 3  said to be 30-year-old Virginia Roberts  claims she was held as a sex slave and forced to sleep with the Duke of York in London, New York and the US Virgin Islands. She says she was 17 at the time  under the age of consent in Florida.

NEW YORK  Sen. Ted Cruz is in a crowded ballroom full of Zionists this Sunday evening, headlining an annual Zionist Organization of America dinner. Standing with Israel and strengthening the U.S.-Israel alliance is critical for our nation and has been a key priority from the very first day I arrived in the US Senate, he said at a VIP reception beforehand. The threats to Israel right now have never been greater, and now is a time when we do not need leaders who simply speak empty words of support for Israel, he said in a well-received speech. We need...

A senior Obama administration official recently told journalist Jeffrey Goldberg that Israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a chickenshit. A second senior official also reportedly called Netanyahu a coward on the issue of Irans nuclear threat. If these reports are accurate, did the Obama administration  indeed perhaps President Obama himself  authorize the officials to issue these highly provocative statements? The White House has tried to distance itself from the remarks, but it seems unlikely that two senior administration officials would use such explosive words without White House approval. Goldberg says that this is the way American and Israeli...

Kasim Hafeez (32) could have easily turned into a jihadist terrorist. He was already on the right path. At home, in the United Kingdom (UK) Muslim community, and on campus, anti-Jewish and anti-Israel agitation was constant. Kasims own father harbored anti-Semitic sentiments. He considered Hitler a hero, and felt that his only failing was that he did not kill enough Jews. Growing up in the UK, to Pakistani-Muslim parents, Kasim was exposed to materials and opinions that were at best, condemning Israel for all the evils in the Middle East, and painting Jews as usurpers and murderers. More extreme elements...

Are you okay, Marc? I have a hankie you can use to wipe away that rolling teardrop that Alan Dershowitz possibly caused during your heated debate on Israel and Gaza during CNN Tonight on Monday. The weird thing is that Marc Lamont Hill was actually crying over Israel (GASP!) defending itself against both rocket attacks and secret tunnels built from Gaza into Israel for the purpose of killing and kidnapping. A video was posted by Soopermexican showing Hill's tear of absurdly misplaced compassion (or was it frustration from arguiing with Dershowitz?) rolling down his cheek.

Mr. Dershowitz thinks the federal campaign fraud charges against the conservative filmmaker and author are an example of selective prosecution. Weighing in on the case Friday in an interview with Law Blog, Mr. Dershowitz was withering in his opinion of the Manhattan U.S. attorney offices prosecution of Mr. DSouza, who pleaded not guilty last week to making illegal campaign contributions to a Republican U.S. Senate candidate in 2012. The idea of charging him with a felony for this doesnt sound like a proper exercise of prosecutorial discretion, Mr. Dershowitz said. I cant help but think that [D'Souza's] politics have something...

Even if allegations made against conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza in a federal indictment on campaign finance violations prove to be true, legal experts and former federal regulatory authorities tell Newsmax that the government's handling of the case has been unusual.

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday that the Obama administration was naive and had possibly made a "cataclysmic error of gigantic proportions" in its deal to ease sanctions on Iran in exchange for an opening up of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. "I think it could turn out to be a cataclysmic error of gigantic proportions," Dershowitz said of the deal, which he described as "naive." "It could also turn out to be successful, to be the beginning of a negotiated resolution," Dershowitz told Newsmax on Sunday. "But I think the likelihood of it being the former is considerably...

Angela Corey, the special prosecutor who struck out going after George Zimmerman, has not taken defeat well. At Red State, streiff catalogues her outrageous behavior in an article that should be read in its entirety: I think everyone can now agree on one thing, Angela Corey was possibly the worst possible choice for a high profile prosecution. She has a sense of entitlement that is so typical of small people promoted to jobs that are well above their level of competency but who lack the self-awareness to recognize what everyone else knows. (You need look no further than her bizarre...

Outrage is growing over the jaw-dropping statement by Florida state prosecutor Angela Corey that George Zimmerman, acquitted of murder and manslaughter in the death of Trayvon Martin, is still a "murderer." Renowned civil-rights lawyer Alan Dershowitz told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV that Zimmerman has reason to launch a defamation of character case against Corey.

"You know, this is a case that should never have been brought in the first place, certainly not as a second degree murder prosecution," Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz told CNN's "State of the Union With Candy Crowley" on Sunday. Dershowitz said George Zimmerman was put on trial because "there was political pressure on the governor, and he appointed somebody (special prosecutor Angela Corey) who had the worst reputation in Florida for overcharging. And she did exactly what she was supposed to do; she overcharged. She charged second-degree murder in a case where there was reasonable doubt written all over...

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz says the prosecutors in the George Zimmerman murder trial should be charged with "prosecutorial misconduct" for suggesting the defendant planned the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. "That is something no prosecutor should be allowed to get away with to make up a story from whole cloth," Dershowitz told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV. "These prosecutors should be disbarred. They have acted absolutely irresponsibly in an utterly un-American fashion."

The verdict is in from Alan Dershowitz: if the renowned Harvard Law professor were on the jury hearing the George Zimmerman murder trial, he would find the defendant not guilty. "I would say there's reasonable doubt. I would say nobody knows who started the initial fight," Dershowitz told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV. "Remember, it's monumentally irrelevant who's morally guilty here." Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teenager in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman, a 29-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer for his community, says he shot Martin, 17,...

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 22-17 on Friday that embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights during a hearing last month on the agency's tea party targeting scandal. The party-line vote paves the way for the committee to bring Lerner back to Congress and force her to answer questions from lawmakers...

Famed Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz ranks Sen. Ted Cruz among the schools smartest students, adding that the Canada-born Texan can run for president in 2016. Cruz was a terrific student, Dershowitz told The Daily Caller. He was always very active in class, presenting a libertarian point of view. He didnt strike me as a social conservative, more of a libertarian. He had brilliant insights and he was clearly among the top students, as revealed by his class responses, Dershowitz added. Dershowitz also gave a high estimate of Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren  who has decidedly different political...

Prof. Alan Dershowitz, appearing at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York this week, spoke about his plan to restart the peace talks. Dershowitz, who has not official position in Israel, spoke to PA President Mahmoud Abbas and suggested a version of the Allon Plan of 1970. His suggestion for a "tripartite settlement freeze" was panned by Israel's Minister of International Affairs, Yuval Steinitz, as well as by former National Security Advisor to PM Netanyahu, Dr. Uzi Arad, who opposed "ulilateral concessions." AFSI's newly elected Chairman, Attorney Mark Langfan, sent an open letter to Prof. Dershowitz for posting in the...
